Recs and Reviews

Shannon, Satina's "partner in crime", also isn't someone I like every story of, but this series focused on three holidays is outstanding. Years after their partnership ended with Krycek's betrayal, she makes them relive it in an instant of wordless communication and effortless trust. From there, a change in Mulder's behavior towards Krycek is inevitable, and from that truce she lets them come together in one breathless moment that, while written from Mulder's POV, lets the reader experience Krycek's courage and terror more immediately than several paragraphs from Krycek's POV would have managed. Add to that a supportive Scully, and this series leaves nothing to be desired.
